I’ve experienced worsening of all my symptoms, plus additional ‘die off’ (herxheimer reaction) symptoms. These include poor memory, extreme tiredness, all over body muscle aches, and headaches. However, I have been through this before, and what I’m experiencing now is rather mild compared to the first time. I believe this is due to my diet being much better than it used to be.

I’m not yet through the worst of it. I still want to eat and drink things I shouldn’t. However, I have strong motivation to feel well, and have strategies in place to make this work. I eat foods that keep me satiated, eat at regular times, and take a healthy snack if I know I’ll be away from home for a while (Like being in hospital with my little girl at 5am!).

I’ve resisted temptation many times this week, and for that I am proud. Both my father, and my little girl have been in hospital, so it has been a challenging week.

So there you have it. It’s tricky, but it’s working. I shall continue this mad experiment on my body and see where it takes me. Oh! And I’ve lost 1kg 🙂
